Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

Local Little Bay residents, along with buyers from premium postcodes across Sydney’s affluent Eastern Suburbs, have dominated purchases in developer-builder Urban Property Group’s first Eastern Suburbs apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/este-little-bay-jennifer-street-little-bay-nsw-2036">ESTE Little Bay</a>.

The $250 million coastal project, one of the first new developments in the area in several years, has proven particularly popular with downsizers, especially those from Coogee and Bondi. One Double Bay downsizer paid $4.7 million for a four-bedroom penthouse, setting a new local apartment price record in the process.

Buyers have been attracted to the combination of coastal tranquillity, premium design and amenity-rich neighbourhood living. The walkable village setting, along with proximity to three of Sydney’s leading golf courses, New South Wales Golf Club, St Michael’s Golf Club and The Coast Golf Club, has also been a key drawcard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352689]

Built across two low-rise buildings designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hill-thalis-architecture-urban-projects-pty-ltd">Hill Thalis</a> and set along a lush, landscaped green spine, designed by leading landscape architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/arcadia-landscape-architecture">Arcadia</a>, ESTE Little Bay offers a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences with interiors by Richards Stanisich.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> Sales Director, Tom McIvor said the response to ESTE has been "nothing short of extraordinary."

“Buyers have been quick to recognise ESTE as a rare opportunity to invest in a coastal sanctuary that offers both seclusion and connectivity to the heart of Sydney,” McIvor said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352687]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Senior Director, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">Clayton Ross</a> said the local market has responded incredibly well, driven by ESTE’s exceptional location and the rarity it offers.

“We’ve seen strong interest from a variety of buyer groups, all of whom are drawn to the exclusivity and quality of the build and construction by the 4.5-star iCIRT-rated builder / developer, Urban Property Group. There’s truly nothing else like it along Sydney’s coastline.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352690]

The project also includes robust buyer protections, including Resilience Insurance’s Latent Defects Insurance, providing 10 years of structural cover, and an independent iCIRT-rating of the developer.

“The iCIRT-rating adds another layer of confidence,” Ross added. “Buyers see it as a safeguard for their investment and their lifestyle.” A highlight of ESTE’s offering is its exclusive wellness amenities, including a heated rooftop infinity pool and outdoor heated spa, a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness centre, and a sauna.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/este-little-bay-jennifer-street-little-bay-nsw-2036">ESTE Little Bay</a> is topped out and is on track to complete towards the end of 2026, with residents moving in before Christmas.

Gold Coast Apartments

The developer push for more high-end apartment towers on the Gold Coast is set to continue at Main Beach.

Plans have been lodged for a 21-level apartment tower at&nbsp;3671 Main Beach Parade, on the sought-after beachfront side, which will have just half and whole-floor apartments.

The application was lodged by local hotelier Bruce Donnachy, who runs the Arundel Tavern.

The half-floor apartments will run from levels three to nine. Level nine upwards will have just whole-floor three bedroom apartments, with 328 sqm of internal space and 80 sqm of external balconies.

<a href="/new-apartments/3671-main-beach-parade-main-beach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

Crowning the DBI-designed development is the two-level penthouse, spanning some&nbsp;670 sqm of internal living space and a further 100 sqm of outdoor. The half-floor apartments will have 191 sqm of internal space.

The resident amenity is located on level 10, where there will be a gym, multi-purpose room, swimming pool with deck, and a barbecue area.

DBI's brief was to design a contemporary coastal luxury 5-star residential apartment building that is timeless.

"The timeless architecture will set a new benchmark in the Main Beach Precinct," DBI advise in the submissions to the Gold Coast City Council.

<a href="/new-apartments/3671-main-beach-parade-main-beach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

"The architecture of the proposed luxury residential development is composed of simple curved and linear forms, white concrete spandrels, a textured and timeless material palette of travertine stone and timber screening, creating a rich and layered coastal effect.

"A series of planters on the facade add a layering and softening of the built form, reinforcing the importance of sub-tropical design."

The subject site sits at the eastern edge of the core Main Beach precinct.

"This project offers the opportunity to design a luxury residential apartment building that caters for the owner occupier," DBI's statement read.

The high-end development trend is sweeping the Gold Coast, as stock continues to tighten as the luxury owner-occupier demand continues to rise.

<a href="/new-apartments/3671-main-beach-parade-main-beach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

Nearby on Main Beach Parade is La Mer, one of the few developments in Main Beach currently selling which also targets the luxury owner-occupier.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=171652]

La Mer comprises just 29&nbsp;apartments across its 34 levels, start from 307 sqm. It is being&nbsp;pitched itself as the ultimate downsizer development by NPA Projects. "Transitioning from a house to an apartment has never been easier," NPA advise.

Only a handful of apartments remain.

Broadbeach is seeing more of an uptick in the luxury owner-occupier space than some of the surrounding Gold Coast suburbs.

Little Projects recently launched Aperture, which will have just 29 apartments across the 35 levels, with 26 full-floor apartments with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and three parking spaces.

They start from $2.1 million, with every level of the 120 metre building offering uninterrupted ocean views from the balcony off the living area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181282]&nbsp;

Ferro Chow Architects took a similar approach to the downsizer trend, offering half and full-floors at a prime corner&nbsp;Broadbeach site opposite the bowls club.

The 46-level tower will&nbsp;have 59 apartments, with half-floor apartments taking up the first half of the tower, then full-floor apartments from there up.

The smallest apartments have three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room. There are 36 three-bedroom apartments, 22 four-bedroom apartments, and a special penthouse toward the point end of the building.

Rarely is Bilinga talked about when discussing the Gold Coast apartment boom.

The&nbsp;small enclave, north of Coolangatta where the market has been running hot for well over 12 months, and south of the equally booming Palm Beach, hasn&#39;t had the influx of apartment development applications like some of the other coastal hotspots, until now.

The prominent South East Queensland developer, Mosaic Property Group, has identified the area as having potential for future growth, claiming their first site in the suburb.

The Brisbane-based team, who in 2021 sold out L&#39;Orient on the Sunshine Coast, The Witton in Brisbane&#39;s Indooroopilly, and Kensington in Toowong, have had SJB put together designs for a&nbsp;boutique project of 13 apartments over seven levels at 1 Surf Street. Seven of the apartments are full-floor, ocean-front apartments.

<img alt="" height="729" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/surf_st_bilinga_mosaic.jpg" width="1200" />

A number of developers have descended on Golden Four Drive, the beachfront&nbsp;strip that runs all the way from Currumbin through Bilinga to Kirra Beach.

The Brisbane-based Cielo Group had been looking for an opportunity to break in to the Gold Coast for a while, and grabbed 55 Golden Point Drive, a 503 sqm site through GV Property Group, which had in place approval for a six-level building with five apartments.

But when Cielo, led by Justin O&#39;Donnell and Azemm Dannaoui, secured the site, they had&nbsp;the local architecture firm Zarchitects create a&nbsp;nine-level building, which has beach views from the higher levels, including the residents communal rooftop space, where there&#39;s a pool and barbecue areas and outdoor dining, all with views over the beach.

<img alt="" height="668" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/55_golden_four_drive_2.jpg" width="1200" />

There are nine three-bedroom apartments, each with a multi-purpose room. Each of the bedrooms has a walk-in wardrobe. There is a master suite in each apartment, that has a larger walk-in, and its own ensuite.

&quot;The design of the development reflects the emerging medium rise development in&nbsp;Bilinga&nbsp;and will contribute positively to the character of the locality,&quot; Zone Planning Group wrote in the development application.

CBRE&#39;s Nicholas Clydsdale is marketing the apartments, which are expected to hit the market in the new year. <a href="/new-apartments/luma">To be the first to find out when the project hits sales, enquire here.</a>

There will be a similarly boutique project at 303 Golden Four Drive, just 19 apartments designed by Ellivo.

That will have a&nbsp;communal ground floor with lap pool, gym, and a lobby, as well as a single apartment with its own plunge pool. Crowning the project will be two, two-level penthouses.

<img alt="" height="747" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/303_golden_four.jpg" width="1200" />

Another development of just 16 apartments will be created at 281 Golden Four Drive, just two per level.

Dubbed Pacific View, the nine-storey tower has been described by&nbsp;Creativo Architects as being a fluid marriage of soft curves that blurs the line between organic and artificial.

&quot;With a splash of contemporary art-deco reinterpretation, it presents itself as a sophisticated high-end product, yet it integrates with the natural surrounding environment,&quot; the design statement read.

&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="1152" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/pacific_view_bilinga.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;The design intent in fact addresses multiple issues at once: naturally provides articulation to the street façade, protection from the western sun, protection to the traffic noise and dust, filters sunlight and created soft shadow patterns through the apartments and the façade itself.&quot;

&quot;The proposed design aims at becoming a soft and pleasant recognizable landmark in the local urban realm. The choice of the materiality draws from the extensive presence of bricks in the area.&quot;

Residents will have access to a recreational area which has a lap and plunge pool, an outdoor shower, yoga retreat, sauna, and a gym.

Also on the 1,539 sqm block will be a luxury four-bedroom beachfront house.

A Sydney-based developer will be creating the highest density project submitted in recent months at 89 Golden Four Drive.

Turner Studios has designed the nine-level apartment development for 81 apartments

Is Bilinga the next Gold Coast apartment hotspot?

The prominent Hope Island developer, Aniko Group, has laid out further residential apartment plans for the ever-growing island precinct.

Aniko, led by George&nbsp;Mastrocostas, has sought approval for a further 185 apartments on the&nbsp;9,279 sqm site at 10-12 Sickle Avenue that was acquired earlier this year.

The two-building development will adjoin their Athena Residences apartment development at 6-8 Sickle, which recently secured approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

Aniko has had their go-to architecture firm, the local Archidiom, created plans for the two mid-rise buildings, focused around a central recreation area feature a pool, gym, theatre, residents lounge and outdoor seating and lawns.

Tower A will have 98 apartments, a mix of 86 two-bedroom units and 16 three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;Tower B will home 87 two-bedroom apartments.

Town planner&nbsp;Zone Planning Group said the&nbsp;proposal is expected to act as a catalyst for the establishment of further higher density development within Hope Island and will assist in ensuring that a portion of the planned density lost to the nearby lower density developments is achieved.

At the time of purchase, Mastrocostas said the site would be suited to a high-density apartment precinct, comparing it&nbsp;to their nearby $140 million 1 Grant Avenue project, which is all sold out.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re delighted to have put a foothold on another premium waterfront site in Hope Island and we are looking forward to adding a spectacular project to support the demand for apartment living in the area,&rdquo;&nbsp;Mastrocostas said.

&ldquo;The site is very large and offers unfettered access to the Hope Island Canal and The Broadwater and we believe it would be suited to a luxury apartment project to complement what we have already created at Hope Island.&quot;

The development is Aniko&#39;s fifth on Hope Island.

Aniko push on with further Hope Island apartment development

Some of the finest&nbsp;Gold Coast apartment developments have been designed by Rothelowman, one of Queensland&#39;s leading architecture practices, in recent years.

Rothel​o​wman, who has offices in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, put together the designs for The Monaco, which recently sold-out with an average sale price of around $5 million, as well as Dune at Main Beach, SPG Land&#39;s massive $800 million apartment towers on Ferny Av​enue.

Roth​e​low​man was commissioned for the first Gold Coast apartment development from the Melbourne-based developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen.

Hirsch &amp; Faigen had them design the 14-level, Palm Beach apartment development&nbsp;Hemingway, named after the famous author and featuring a distinct blush fa&ccedil;ade. That sold out all of its 78 apartments in just a few months.

For Emerson, Hirsch &amp; Faigen&#39;s&nbsp;more boutique Kirr​a Beach, Coolangatta offering, Hirsch &amp; Faigen had the team put together something a little different to Hemingway.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=184792]

In their statement to the Gold Coast City Council, Rothelowman said&nbsp;100 Musgrave Street offered&nbsp;the opportunity to consolidate a historically rich, vibrant and evolving part of the City.

&quot;Primarily the scheme seeks to challenge the &ldquo;bias of the linear coastal city&rdquo; by focusing on the interfaces created between the ground plane and the public spaces of the street,&quot; the statement read.

They stated that, although Emerson was a&nbsp;relatively modestly scaled development, the prime corner location allowed the scheme to challenge the prosaic and prevalent &ldquo;blunt street edges&rdquo; that typify the oceanfront boulevards of the City, instead favouring a generous display of communal coastal activities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=184787]

&quot;Historically the City has celebrated it&rsquo;s outdoor activities; pool&rsquo;s exposed to the street, sun lounges under umbrellas overlooking the footpath, gardens framing views into and out of the semi-private spaces of development.

&quot;Observations of this playfulness have been paramount in the exploration of an undercroft as the primary device in creating a permeable and porous interface between the semi-private and public realms of the City.&quot;

The Rothelowman team said that the&nbsp;overall composition of the scheme favours a simple and informed diagram that is analytical of the surrounding precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=184795]

&quot;A three storey &ldquo;street building&rdquo; provides a direct response to the Cities desire to create a strong &ldquo;Urban Ground&rdquo;. This is further accentuated through a series of dancing, curved and landscaped balconies that shift amongst a rational and expressed structural order which ties the ground to the tower .

&quot;A simple plate allows for the transition from podium to tower architecture creating a deep eave that is visually demonstrative of an overt subtropical approach to buildings.

&quot;The tower architecture follows a similar approach to simplicity. Profiled slab edges project forward creating shade and protection. The line of enclosure to the tower dwellings is kept back from the edge, undulating and folding to craft views. Recesses in the façade offer the opportunity for residents to tailor small gardens within the building form offering more immediate amenity in the context of the expansive and broad longer aspects to the ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=184796]

These small indents also allow for the control of cross ventilation through openings away from the face of the building enabling better resident control of breezes in windy conditions.

&quot;The overall approach to the design has been one of deliberate and measured analysis. The building is modest in expression favouring performance and liveability over decoration. A relative simplicity enables the aspirations of coastal living to be prioritised; engaging with the environment in a meaningful and deliberate way.

How Rothelowman designed Hirsch & Faigen's Kirra Beach apartment development, Emerson

Hirsch &amp; Faigen&nbsp;has given Hutchinson the construction jobs for both its maiden Gold Coast apartment developments.

Hemingway, just off the sand at Palm Beach&#39;s,&nbsp;was the first local development for H&amp;F, led&nbsp;by the Melbourne lawyer Daniel Faigen and Richard Hirsch. The $75 million project sold out all of its 78 apartments within a few months of its launch earlier this year.

That was followed by Emerson, the $85 million luxury boutique block of just 27 apartments in the sought-after Kirra Beach area of Coolangatta. Hirsch &amp; Faigen are soon to launch their third development, Yves at Mermaid Beach.

Hirsch &amp; Faigen&#39;s next project, Yves, will see 146 apartment built across three 25-level towers at 7-9 Mermaid Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=184787]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re delighted to have the team at Hutchies on board, given their prestige reputation for delivering the highest-class projects across not only the Gold Coast but all of Australia,&rdquo; Daniel Faigen said.

&ldquo;These projects aren&rsquo;t your standard class apartments, so it was important to us that we found the right builder who would execute Rothelowman&rsquo;s design flawlessly, and we have every confidence that Hutchies are the perfect fit for the job.&rdquo;

Construction of the 14-level Hemingway, named after the famous author and featuring a distinct blush fa&ccedil;ade, is due to commence construction next month, with a completion date of around September 2023.

Hutchies will begin building Emerson, which only has six apartments left to sell as well as the $8 million penthouse, in February 2022. That will rise 13 levels when completed around October 2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=184795]

&ldquo;We couldn&rsquo;t have asked for a better reception to the Gold Coast market, it&rsquo;s strengthened our commitment to this piping hot property pocket, and we look forward to seeking out further opportunities on its shores,&rdquo;&nbsp;Faigen added.

&ldquo;With a remarkable sales run behind us, we are looking forward to shifting into construction mode and witnessing the first glimpse of Hirsch &amp;&nbsp;Faigen excellence rise out of the Gold Coast earth.&rdquo;

Aniko Group has been changing the face&nbsp;of Hope Island over the last few years.

And the developer, led by boss George Mastrocostas, are continuing their development of the Gold Coast island, with sign off from the council for a $52 million gated townhouse project at 31-35 Grant Avenue.

The development, dubbed No.35 Grant Avenue, will see 48 townhouses developed, as well as 10 waterfront duplex villas,&nbsp;designed to reflect upmarket city-inspired living. The project will centre around an expansive park precinct with walkways and gardens.

Aniko is also preparing to submit an application for marina berths which will be available for sale.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s incredibly rewarding to play a key role in Hope Island&rsquo;s luxury revitalisation, and with the approval for No. 35 Grant under our belt, we can now look towards the next chapter in the precinct&rsquo;s evolution,&rdquo; Mastrocostas said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95316 project_image_fid=184675]

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a responsibility we don&rsquo;t take lightly, and we&rsquo;re particularly excited to be bringing a landmark touch of modern luxury to this waterside pocket with a design unlike anything the area has seen before.&rdquo;

The focus for Aniko, in the post-covid world, was to offer a large floorplate. Each townhouse has three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room, designed to be transformed in to home offices.

&ldquo;It was important for our residences to be reflective of modern lifestyle trends, so the space to set up a fully functional home office was something that immediately stood out to us,&rdquo;&nbsp;Mastrocostas added.

No. 35 Grant Residences will feature a range of state-of-the-art amenities, including a swimming&nbsp;pool with sunbeds and outdoor showers, a communal herb garden, barbeque facilities and a fire pit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95316 project_image_fid=184674]

&ldquo;If there&rsquo;s one commonality that we&rsquo;ve witnessed across our latest string of sales, it&rsquo;s that there&rsquo;s no end in sight to the demand for sophisticated waterfront living in Hope Island,&rdquo;&nbsp;Mastrocostas said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re eager to get this product to market and to fill the void that is being noticed by so many savvy local buyers who have a strong awareness of Hope Island&rsquo;s value and appeal.&rdquo;

The townhouses will be the latest of four major projects in the pipeline for Hope Island by Aniko Group, which has been progressively transforming the Hope Island landscape over the past two years.

Just around the corner, Aniko&rsquo;s Athena residences recently notched up 60 per cent sold just three weeks after its official launch. Their $140 million development, No.1 Grant Avenue, sold out earlier this year. That&#39;s&nbsp;due to reach completion on its stage two&nbsp;construction next month.

The Sydney-based developer Iris Capital is getting closer to unveiling its debut $800 million Gold Coast apartment development, Victoria &amp; Albert Broadbeach.

The two towers, designed by DBI Architects over a subtropical recreational podium,&nbsp;will home over 400 apartments, two levels of premium offices and commercial facilities and a fresh food and dining retail on the street level.

Designed for&nbsp;the coastal environment, V&amp;A will comprise a mix of one, two&nbsp;and three-bedroom apartments on the lower levels,&nbsp;while the upper residences will offer a mix of three-bedroom apartments,&nbsp;with both towers topped by sub‐penthouses and penthouses.

Both towers offering an elevated recreational podium with a 25m lap pool, a gym, a yoga deck and resident’s lounge as well as kid’s area, a zen garden, an outdoor dining and BBQ facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=178909]

Both will also feature&nbsp;top floor owners-lounges complete with dining, yoga room, offices and views across the Gold Coast skyline.

Colliers’ Director Residential David Higgins says there is an air of anticipation for the launch of the first major apartment project in Broadbeach for the last five years.

Higgins said V&amp;A Broadbeach would create the first high end residential, retail and culinary precinct in central Broadbeach since the Oracle towers more than a decade ago.

“Currently Broadbeach has plentiful luxury full floor and half floor 3 bedroom plus apartments on the market very offer a choice of 1,2,3-bedroom apartments with access to leading luxury amenity”, he says

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184936]

“Historically Broadbeach has had a very strong family market, but this has dissipated in recent years. However, we believe the opening of the borders will bring this market right back into the frame.

“We’re looking to introduce a mix of product right in the heart of Broadbeach that attracts the family buyer, luxury downsizer and investors looking for solid returns as the Gold Coast grows out of the Covid lockdowns.

“The project scores a 10 out of 10 for walkability located in the heart of Broadbeach in walking distance to the light rail, the casino, convention centre, the restaurant precinct and the beach and will bring a new type of residential apartments to the market that we have not seen for some time.”

Iris Capital,&nbsp;founded and led by entrepreneur Sam Arnaout, has extended its reach over the past decade to become a developer of high quality integrated residential and mixed-use developments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184935]

The company now holds&nbsp;$3.5 billion enterprise value, having significantly expanded its footprint over the past year through the acquisition of 17 Ibis hotels from AccorInvest.

“We are no stranger to large scale projects and have built a reputation on our ability to deliver transformative developments that add remarkable value to their broader community,”&nbsp;Arnaout said.

“The Broadbeach precinct is primed for a rebirth, and we are thrilled to be creating a pillar of the community to connect the next generation of Gold Coast locals to the idyllic beachside dream.”

GurnerTM, the luxury apartment developer, has appointed the national construction firm ICON Construction to build the&nbsp;first 68-level tower at its massive Gold Coast project La Pelago

The build price is estimated to be over $350 million, and will take just over three years to complete.

It's the first of four towers on the sprawling Ferny Avenue&nbsp;site, and will be the tallest at 68 levels, the fourth tallest tower on the Gold Coast. It will home over 350 apartments, a 200-room hotel, a health and wellness precinct, a private resort and club, and a level 42 sky bar, as well as premium retail and hospitality space.

<a href="/new-apartments/aquia-la-pelago-108-ferny-avenue-surfers-paradise">Be the first to register your interest on the project by enquiring here.</a>

There will be&nbsp;90 residences across the penthouse collection, ranging from levels 43 to 68.

Formal launch of apartments at La Pelago is expected in Q1 2022.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="724" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gurner_pool.jpg" width="1200" />

Architecturally designed by Warren and Mahoney, ‘La Pelago’ centralises on a “private island” theme, whereby each building is surrounded by over 9,000sqm of amenity, lush tropical landscaping and pool-side water retreats.

“We are very excited to have appointed ICON to lead the construction on such a major project for us and the Gold Coast, where we will be really pushing the boundaries of what is possible in luxury property," Gurner boss Tim Gurner says.

<a href="/new-apartments/aquia-la-pelago-108-ferny-avenue-surfers-paradise">Be the first to register your interest on the project by enquiring here.</a>

“We have now delivered eight projects with ICON, so we have tremendous confidence in the team’s ability to deliver a project of this scale and complexity.

"This project is very important to our business, and we are looking forward to working closely with ICON to deliver a new level of amenity and luxury for Australia."

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="675" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gurner_4_0.jpg" width="1200" />

Two-bedroom apartments are the most popular across the residential buildings, accounting for more than half of the apartments in each tower.

Tower four is the second biggest, and will home 248 apartments, with between four to 16 per floor across its 34 levels.

Tower one will have 150 apartments across 30 levels&nbsp;and tower two the most boutique, with between two and four apartments per floor across its 25 levels, totalling 95 apartments.

All up the proposal will see over 1088 apartments and hotel rooms built.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="852" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gurner_lobby_entry_1.jpg" width="1200" />

“La Pelago will allow us to draw on our unique experience in the retail, signature amenity and urban regeneration space, and apply it on a grand scale," Gurner said.

“When designing the project it was really about me dreaming about where we all want to be right now and for me that is a hot and sunny luxury private island. Something that offers sun, pools, amazing service, luxury amenities and residences – something right now you cannot get in Australia."

Warren and Mahoney&nbsp;design principal, Barrington Gohns, said&nbsp;La Pelago’s design will provide much more immersive experiences than previous projects, with stunning attention to detail across the four towers.

<a href="/new-apartments/aquia-la-pelago-108-ferny-avenue-surfers-paradise">Be the first to register your interest on the project by enquiring here.</a>

"The design very much respects the crisp, natural island experience utilising integrated landscape and pools, lots of white, timber and glass in its form, with bespoke elements in each ‘island’," Gohns said.

“The foundation of La Pelago is steeped in context and identity, acknowledging the tension between river and coastline, and the design only takes what it can give back. A strong focus on health wellness resonates throughout, along with a carbon neutral manifesto we continue to drive with GURNERTM.”

New apartment sales on the Gold Coast have hit an all-time high, officially making 2021 the hottest market since property consultancy Urbis began monitoring the sector.

The number of apartment sales for the September quarter surged to 690, bringing the total of new apartments sold on the Gold Coast in the first nine months of this year to 1,882.

Owner-occupiers continue to account for the majority of sales, totalling 61 per cent in the September quarter.

This figure has already eclipsed the previous full-year record of 1,556 sales in 2016.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=171657]

The Urbis Apartment Essentials report noted based on the September sales rate, only 2.2 months&rsquo; supply of new apartments remain available on the market should no new projects be released.&nbsp;

&quot;This is the lowest supply level ever recorded by Urbis for the Gold Coast and is down from 4.2 months&rsquo; supply recorded in the June quarter,&rdquo; said Urbis senior consultant Lynda Campbell.

&ldquo;Record high demand is meeting record low supply, which has led to the most acute shortage of new apartments ever experienced on the Gold Coast.&rdquo;

Just 517 apartments remained for sale at the end of September, down from 624 at the end of June.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=183045]

These figures compare to 2,594 at the end of June 2018.

More than half of these, 335, were located in the Gold Coast Central precinct, comprising Labrador, Southport, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. However, the Southern Beaches from Mermaid Beach to Tweed Heads had the lowest supply with just 45 apartments.

&ldquo;All Gold Coast precincts are in major undersupply, and some areas will remain so despite a number of big projects in the wings expected to be launched over the next three to nine months.&rdquo;

According to Urbis, nine new projects comprising 774 apartments were launched in the September quarter, with two of these selling out within the three months. They were among 16 projects that sold out during the quarter.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181290]

Urbis is now monitoring 59 new developments across the Gold Coast, down from a high of 84 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The weighted average sale price in the third quarter eased to $883,478, slightly down from the $1 million-plus figures of the first two quarters of this year as sales increased in the more affordable precincts of Coastal Fringe and North Shore.

Gold Coast new apartment sales hit all time high: Urbis

The Melbourne-based Little Projects has sought to meet the ever-growing demand for high-end apartments at their latest Gold Coast apartment development, Aperture.

The Broadbeach tower will be home to just 29 apartments across its 35 levels&nbsp;when it is completed in mid-2023, with buyers already showing interest due to the&nbsp;200 sqm plus of living space across each apartment.

Leighton Pyke, director at Little Projects, said that after the sell-out success of Signature around the corner, the team wanted to create something a little different.

&quot;Signature was obviously higher density with 245 apartments, a project of that scale takes considerably longer to move,&quot; Pyke said.

&quot;We saw there was a good level of demand for that larger product and wanted to take something to the high-end owner-occupier market quickly to try and meet that demand.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181290]

Pyke and the Little Projects&nbsp;team engaged the Melbourne-based architect, Elenberg Fraser, to create the 120 metre tower, having worked with them previously on the design phase of a development of around 1000 apartments in Fisher​mans Bend in Melbourne.

It&#39;s only the second time the architecture firm has designed an apartment project on the Gold Coast. The only other is the mixed-use hotel and apartment development Mondrian at Burleigh Heads, currently in market.

&quot;We wanted to put a slightly different spin on what the Gold Coast usually offers - giving it an injection of an outside perspective,&quot; Pyke says.&nbsp;

&quot;Their involvement certainly sets us apart, potentially bringing a few new ideas to the Gold Coast.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181281]

Pyke says there&#39;s already been a big wave of Sydney residents enquiring on Aperture.

With house prices rocketing in the Harbour capital, some downsizers and retirees are happy to take advantage of current market conditions and cash in on&nbsp;their longtime family homes and buy something smaller as a city base, freeing up money to secure a more expensive holiday home that they will spend a significant amount of time at.

Pyke however added that the same sentiment is felt with the local market, where there&#39;s also windfall house sales.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181283]

House prices in Broadbeach - Burleigh experienced the highest annual growth in the Gold Coast in the 12 months to August 2021, with gains of over&nbsp;38&nbsp;per cent, according to data from the data-driven buyer&rsquo;s agency, InvestorKit.

Apartments in the same area&nbsp;grew by 15.7 per cent over the same period.

&quot;It&#39;s speeding up that transition to downsize, which is why we are seeing huge levels of owner-occupiers wanting to buy something that might be toward that higher price point.&quot;

Pyke says the team have a firm belief in the longevity of the Gold Coast apartment market, and are working towards securing more development sites heading in to 2022.

"We wanted to put a slightly different spin on what the Gold Coast usually offers - giving it an injection of an outside perspective,".
